According to WebMD,
“Psoriasis is one of the most baffling and persistent of skin
disorders.It's characterized by skin
cells that multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. As underlying cells
reach the skin's surface and die, their sheer volume causes raised, red plaques
covered with white scales.”

WebMD goes on to say,
“Psoriasis typically occurs on the knees, elbows, and scalp and it
can also affect the torso, palms, and soles of the feet...While
there are medications and other therapies that can help to clear up the patches
of red, scaly, thickened skin that are the hallmark of psoriasis, there is no
cure.”

Unfortunately,
according to people suffering from psoriasis, oftentimes the medications
prescribed for this condition simply don’t work or cause unwanted side effects.Fortunately, many psoriasis victims say safe,
natural colloidal silver – long known for its ability to stimulate healing of
skin – provides them with phenomenal relief and healing.Here’s the story no one else is telling...

I recently received the following post on the Colloidal
Silver Secrets Community on Facebook, from community member G.S., who’s from
the UK.She wrote:

“I
melt 2 oz of raw organic cold-pressed coconut oil and mix it with 10ml of colloidal
silver liquid. I then apply it head and body.It helps keep my psoriasis at bay better than anything from the
doctors.”

“I’ve been taking a half
teaspoon of colloidal silver 3 times a day. It’s really helped my
psoriasis. Almost all of the infection is gone after two weeks and I can go
outside again.”

Several years ago Mrs. J.M. from Eugene, OR had written to
say:

"I had a psoriasis-like condition on my face. None of the doctor's
medicines worked. The only thing that worked was the colloidal silver made with
your company's colloidal silver generator. I
simply wet a cotton ball with the colloidal silver and dabbed it on the
affected area three or four times a day.Thank you!"

And several years ago, Hugh H. from Saskatchewan, Canada, had
written to tell me:

"I
know this woman that has had psoriasis all her life. She had been to doctors
and specialists all the time .She used coal soap and ointments. She even
wrapped herself in Saran Wrap because someone said that might work....NOT!

I
told her I didn't know if colloidal silver would work or not, but she could try
it. Well it worked. After 10 days of
drinking small amounts of colloidal silver and applying it topically to the
affected skin it was gone.

Now
it does come back from time-to-time, but she knows how to get rid of it to and
she stays on top of it. For the first time in her 56 years she knows she can be
free of it.She even went to Jamaica to
work on her tan.”

Testimonials

Lucy J. is another happy colloidal silver user, now that her
psoriasis is almost gone.She recently
wrote to tell me:

"I've had psoriasis for 20 years.Thanks to colloidal silver, it's almost gone now, along with the Candida
symptoms. I've tried almost every alternative therapy there is for the
psoriasis but this is by far the most effective.

...This
stuff is magic and no wonder the selling of it has been banned in Europe.Why? Because it WORKS! And it can be made for
pennies by every individual. This is NOT what the pharmaceutical industry
wants. They want us sick and paying them to remain sick.”

And finally, Bernice C. wrote to say:

“I
developed a horrible case of psoriasis on my head and one hand about a year and
a half ago, about 6 months after losing my son.

Although
I wasn't very ‘present,’ especially the first 6 months, I did realize my head
was abnormally itchy. Not sure if the disease was due to stress or my diagnosed
arthritis....didn't matter, it was horrible, out of control, and socially
inhibiting.

I
researched on line and went to see my doctor. Nothing worked, not apple cider
vinegar, not my doctor’s topical treatments. Nothing.I was miserable and it was getting worse.

My
sister came to visit me from out-of-state in February for a vacation.After a couple of days she asked me why I was
scratching my head and hand so often. I told her my issues and she told me to
buy colloidal silver immediately.

So
I did.I started using it topically on my
head and my hand, and I was blown away by results. I still have some issues
(after 2 months of use) however, I am 99% cured after almost 2 years of major
suffering.

My
sister was told about colloidal silver when she was suffering horribly with shingles.
She was in pain every day for months until her Chiropractor suggested she try colloidal
silver.She was healed within 2 weeks!
Thank you again for the continuing education and for my generator! I spread the
word at every opportunity.”

Online Testimonials

from Psoriasis
Sufferers

What’s more, a gentleman named Nick, writing about his
recent experience with colloidal silver on the PsoriasisBeFree
blog, stated:

“When
we Psioratics start to flare, we find that particular
part of our skin and inadvertently start to 'worry' it. (Skin all over the
place) and searching for a comfort factor such as favorite lotions.

If
you are like me, this never works and you realize (as you did last time) that
you now have to wait the repair process to start all over again.

I
have made some colloidal silver over the past few weeks and as I started to go
through the above scenario, I had a warm shower dried myself of and then
sprayed the colloidal silver over my body. I went back into the lounge and it
wasn't long before I realized that I was NOT itching! I had not used any cream
and my skin was dry.”

On the GrowYouthful website, Susie
from San Miguel, CA wrote in to say:

“I
make my own colloidal silver (electrically) and soak rags with it and cover the
psoriasis area. It immediately relieves the itching and pain, and works faster
and better than cortisone creams to clear it up!”

And on the Inspire.com website, a reader wrote in to say:

“I
started drinking and applying homemade colloidal silver to my face and belly
button and pubic area when I thought I had a resistant fungal infection induced
by stress.One week later I got the
biopsy results that said yes to psoriasis and nay to fungus. I was
super-surprised.

But
by then the rash on my face and belly button was 98% gone and my pubic rash was
at least 50% better.Today is three
weeks since silver colloid treatment began and I can still see a stubborn
remnant of the rash on part of my face and my pubic area, which continues to
heal gradually.

I have done a lot of research about colloidal silver and recommend to anyone
interested to do their own research and be discerning about the information you
find.The only way to know what you are
getting is to make it yourself...efficacy is related to the smallness of the
particles.The ppm (i.e., concentration)
should be between 5 and 20.”

And on the BeatPsoriasis.com website, a reader wrote in to
say:

“Hi,
I thought would share our experience with long term psoriasis and colloidal
silver. My partner had psoriasis on her arms and legs from age 16 thru to
age 39. She used soaps, acids and abrasives to keep the areas somewhat
under control.

I introduced her to colloidal silver. She applied it regularly on the affected
areas and also started drinking it. The
end result was that after 4-5 months the psoriasis was virtually nonexistent
and, 4 years later, has not returned.

We take colloidal silver regularly as an overall wellness thing but she no
longer needs to apply it to her skin although it is always used for cuts and abrasions.
Google it and see for yourself. We have put lots of people onto it with amazing
results and I have personally been using it for years.”

How People Use
Colloidal Silver for Psoriasis

As you can see from the testimonials above, some psoriasis
sufferers simply drink small amounts of colloidal silver daily (get your copy
of the FREE Colloidal Silver Safe Dosage Report, here). They generally
notice reductions in the severity of their psoriasis outbreaks over a period of
weeks or months.

Others prefer to apply colloidal silver directly – i.e., topically
-- to the affected areas of their skin, three or four times a day, allowing the
colloidal silver to air dry after applying it.They either use a pump spray bottle to lightly mist the affected areas
of their skin three or four times a day, or they use a cotton ball soaked in
colloidal silver to dab it on to the affected areas of the skin.One person even soaked gauze bandages in
colloidal silver and applied them daily to stubborn psoriasis outbreaks.

And still other psoriasis sufferers prefer oral and topical
use, combined.They find that drinking a
small amount of colloidal silver daily, as well as apply some colloidal silver topically
to their outbreaks, results in rapid relief and ongoing healing.

Additionally, I’ve heard from several manufacturers of
colloidal silver gels and creams that psoriasis sufferers often find dramatic
relief when they apply a good colloidal silver gel or cream two or three times
a day.To learn more about some of the
top commercial colloidal silver gels and creams (as well as how to make your
own colloidal silver gels and creams), see this article:

Colloidal silver, of course, is not a “cure” for
psoriasis.But many individuals say it
often helps relieve itching and clears up outbreaks better than other natural remedies
and better than some of the doctor-prescribed medical remedies, as well.

No Clinical Evidence,
But Cutting Edge

Researchers Are
Starting to Take Notice

While there’s no clinical/medical evidence for the
effectiveness of colloidal silver against psoriasis, and the FDA says colloidal
silver cannot be advertised or sold for medical issues, there’s certainly enough
anecdotal evidence regarding colloidal silver and psoriasis to make people sit
up and take notice.

“Colloidal
silver benefits many skins conditions such as psoriasis and eczemaas well. It’s
soothing to scrapes and even repairs tissue damage from burns...Colloidal
silver is also a fantastic anti-inflammatory remedy
that works fast to reduce swelling, repair inflammation in the skin or in the
body.

Case
in point: Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) studied the
effects of skin inflammation after being treated by colloidal silver; they
found that the inflamed skin of pigs treated with silver experienced
near-normal skin after 72 hours, while other treatment groups not treated with
silver remained inflamed...

Research
is beginning to reflect what many people have already known anecdotally for
years — that colloidal silver can reduce swelling, speed healing, and boosts
cell recovery!”

And according to the PureNutritionFacts
website:

“Psoriasis
is a chronic condition making its patient dependent on medicine for a long
period of time. Medicines to treat psoriasis are usually very harmful and
contain a lot of side effects including cancer. Therefore people are now
turning to home remedies to cure their condition.

One
such remedy is the use of colloidal silver. There are a lot of success stories
out there of using colloidal silver for psoriasis. People even claim it works
faster and better than the heavy pharmaceutical medications.

Colloidal
silver is available in the form of soaps, lotions and ointments to apply
directly to the affected skin patches and reapplied in a few hours to keep the
dry skin patches moist. Liquid colloidal silver is also consumed and gives the
same desired results. To benefit the most, hold the solution in the mouth for
approximately 30 seconds before swallowing.”

According to an article in the Daily Mail newspaper of Britain on February 27, 2010:

'Research has shown that silver is a powerful
antimicrobial agent that is non-irritating and non-toxic,' says Valerie Edwards
Jones, professor of microbiology at Manchester Metropolitan University. 'Recent
studies have shown that silver can kill up to 650 species of pathogenic
microbes.

...Silver could also combat skin
conditions such as eczema and psoriasis - topical cream containing one
per cent silver can suppress the kind of inflammation found in these allergic
skin conditions.'

And according to Dr. Jon Yaneff,
holistic nutritionist and certified nutritional practitioner, “Colloidal silver is considered effective
against skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, ringworm,
and tissue damage from burns.”

Finally, according to Dr. Matt Eisen, “Colloidal Silver may help as when applied topically for skin
conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, and stimulate skin healing for wound
care.”

They’re referring their readers
to a study published in the British
Journal of Dermatology, titled “Detection of DNA of Chlamydophilapsittaci in
Subjects with Psoriasis:a Casual or a
Causal Link?”

The researchers behind that study concluded, “Chlamydophilapsittaci
infection was observed in a significantly higher percentage of patients with
psoriasis compared with healthy controls...Chlamydophilapsittaci may be an infectious trigger possibly involved in
the pathogenesis of psoriasis.”

Interestingly, Chlamydia
psittaci is most well-known as a cause of
systemic infectious illness in birds, often called “parrot fever.”But infection from the birds “can be
transmitted to humans,” according to the Minnesota Department of Health, “when
a person inhales organisms that have been aerosolized from dried feces or
respiratory tract secretions of infected birds. Other means of exposure include
mouth-to-beak contact and handling infected birds' plumage and tissues.”

What’s more, Dr. Katherine Poehlmann,
PhD, states that fungal pathogens such as Candida
albicans and Candida
glabrata might also be contributing to symptoms
of “skin rashes including psoriasis, hives, eczema, acne and diaper
rash.”

Of course, colloidal silver has long been known to be one of
the world’s most effective natural antibacterial and antifungal agents.Indeed, in one clinical study silver nitrate – a
chemical form of silver -- was demonstrated to lower the risk of infection in
animals inoculated with Chlamydia psittaci.And
other clinical studies (such as this
one) have demonstrated colloidal silver nanoparticles to be effective
against both Candida albicans
and Candida glabrata.

Other researchers point out that silver nanoparticles have
been repeatedly demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory properties on skin,
which is why silver seems to be so helpful against inflammatory skin conditions
such as dermatitis/eczema (see here)...shingles
(see here)...mange
on pets (see here)...burns
(see here)...and
even Poison Oak and Poison Ivy (see here).

silver, see also:

In
recent clinical studies, silver has been demonstrated to reduce inflammation by
modulating excessive cytokine expression. Researchers have demonstrated
that antimicrobial silver has a modulating (or calming) effect on cytokine
expression, resulting in both reduced inflammation and increased healing.

For
example, in thisclinical studyresearchers demonstrated that
silver nanoparticles have the ability to reduce excessive cytokine expression,
and thus reduce excessive inflammation that often gets in the way of
healing.

According
to the study authors, "It has been shown in vivo that silver
nanoparticles act to decrease inflammation through cytokine modulation."

What’s
more, the study authors concluded, “These experimental data suggest
that nano-silver could
be used to treat immunologic and inflammatory diseases.”

Here’s
an excerpt from an article summarizing the results of
the study:

“Silver has for centuries been used to treat and prevent
infection, and its wound-healing properties are well known…But the new
research...indicates that silver goes further than this and modifies cytokines
– the enzymes involved in cell growth and movement – leading to reduced
inflammation and an increased rate of healing.”

In
another clinical study, researchers documented once
again that antimicrobial silver promotes wound healing not just by reducing
microbial burden in the wound, but also by reducing wound inflammation through
modulation of cytokine expression.

Finally,
in an overview of clinical studies titled
“Silver Nanoparticles Interactions with the Immune
System: Implications for Health and Disease,” conducted by
researchers from two separate universities in Seville, Spain, the researchers
once again found that silver nanoparticles strongly inhibited excessive
cytokine production, and reduced the pro-inflammatory effects that can slow or
even block healing.

According
to the study authors, "It has been shown in vivo that silver
nanoparticles act to decrease inflammation through cytokine modulation."

The
implication, of course, is that silver nanoparticles may one day play a key
medical role in decreasing inflammation in chronic infections, wounds and other
inflammatory medical conditions (i.e., such as eczema/dermatitis or even
psoriasis).

Make
Your Own

Colloidal
Silver for Pennies!

Of course, colloidal silver can
be awfully expensive to use, especially if you’re still buying it in health
food stores where the average cost is $5 to $7 per ounce, or $20 to $30 or more
for a tiny, four-ounce bottle.

Thankfully,
you can now make your own high-quality colloidal silver for a little more
than one penny per ounce (about 36 cents a quart) with a new
Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.

What’s
more, high-quality colloidal silver is so simple to make at
home, anyone who can use a coffee pot has all the skill needed. Let
me demonstrate for you how amazingly simple it is:

1.) Just plug the two pure
.999 fine silver rods into the two jacks in the bottom of the generator box,
one on each side of the bubbler tube.

2.) Sit the generator box on
top of a one-quart glass jar full of pure steam-distilled water, so that the
two silver rods and the bubbler tube are immersed in the water.

3.) Set the handy appliance
timer for three hours, and plug it into any convenient grounded household
electrical outlet.

4.) Plug the generator into
the timer and then turn the timer wheel clockwise until you hear the generator
start bubbling. The generator will shut off automatically after three hours.

It’s
really that easy! You just “Set it, and forget it.” And you
get a perfect batch of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver every
time!

When you’re finished, you’ll have a full quart of high-quality micro-particle
colloidal silver. And you can make quart after quart for
the rest of your life, for less than 36 cents each!

Indeed,
the set of pure .999 fine silver wire that comes with your generator
is enough to make over $24,000 worth of colloidal silver (see here)!

Why
should you ever again pay $20 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle of colloidal
silver at the health food store, when you can make your own superior-quality
micro-particle colloidal silver for just pennies per quart?

Almost FREE,
for the Rest of Your Life!

Obviously,
having the ability to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal
silver for only a few pennies per quart is about as close as
you’ll ever get to having "free" colloidal silver for the rest of
your life, any time you or a family member, friend or loved one needs it.

And
because the silver particles produced by this amazing breakthrough in colloidal
silver-making technology are as low as .8 nm – a fraction of a single nanometer
– their effectiveness against colonies of pathogenic microbes is
astonishing.
